Nothing man, and he’s all out of ideas!

I think I would go for refurbished/used 12tb drives or bigger if money allows. I put 3x12tb in my server 2 years ago and thought I would have more than enough space for a long time…I did not.

I’ve already looked into gadgetbridge, but all supported devices unfortunately have fairly limited functionality. I get that it’s the premise with the reverse engineering they do to make things almost work.

The bangle.js models are a fucking ugly apple watch clone, I’d never wear that thing. And I’m not looking to get an actual smartwatch, I have no need for any of that clutter or a desire to charge my watch daily or every other day.

I’ve used a coros pace 2 for a long time, definitely not private but very limited smartwatch bullshit and >week of battery with +1h of daily GPS tracked running. Not supported by gadgetbridge though.

It doesn’t track with GNSS, I don’t run with my phone.

And all of them are limited or require official app alongside of it. I repeat myself; there are no good open source (or just privacy respecting) HW solutions available.

That’s not HW, I need the bloody HW to do any actual HR tracking. GNSS without HR is not worth much to me. There are no good HW solutions on the market, they either violate privacy or suck on a functional level.

A good, no fuss, simple open source GNSS tracker with HR that is compatible with gadget bridge would go a long way. I just want something like a classic casio digital watch that tracks my runs and forwards the raw data for analysis on my phone or a self hosted service.

Tdarr can distribute compute to other nodes, so you could set it up on your server and have your workstation do the actual transcoding.

The key here being that you actually remember the file exists, because it’s important. Some other random spreadsheet you don’t even remember exists because you haven’t needed it since forever is probably not all that important to backup.

If you loose something without ever realizing you lost it, it was not important so there would be no reason to make a backup.

Yep, Western Digital said they were sold out of drives for all of 2026. Since 2026 is just starting, they haven’t actually produced those drives or gotten actual money for them.

This is exceedingly normal procedure for manufacturing companies, and not limited to tech industry by any means. They know how much they can potentially produce on their lines, if they have predicted customers to fulfill the capacity for a full year they are basically sold out despite not having produced most of it yet.

The company I work for also has “sold out” for several of our factories because we have orders for 110% production capacity on them. Orders are not paid up front, they never are in any industry, it’s always paid after delivery usually with a 30-90 days delay (and even more in some cases).

There is nothing spectacularly weird or out of place in the announcement they’ve made, it’s basically standard procedure.

If the uplink bandwidth is more than sufficient for users in Europe, and it doesn’t degrade over distance, then why is the same uplink not enough for the exact same thing in Asia?

When I try to point it army server, I’m prompted with a page saying it’s only possible in the paid tier

Apparently only for appletv, for iOS there are no issues.

You thinking I’m a jerk doesn’t change the fact that the appletv app is a burning pile of dog crap. My opinion is that they should actively work on it, the lacking quality and functionality is just fact.

Are you this shitty to people who submit pull requests to your dog-shit bug-ridden open-source software repos? Do you even have anything that’s open-source that tries to solve a problem?

Of course, obviously I am the only infallible person in the universe…scrub

Dude no one is forcing them to work on the project, they can just ditch it if they don’t want to do it anymore. Just because it’s free people are still allowed to voice opinions on the project, sure my comment is tongue in cheek, no one cares…welcome to the internet, is this your first day?

Yeah it doesn’t work with your own media server on the free tier, so they can go fuck themselves.

My server works fine with all other clients though, except the appletv one. In the appletv app I cannot change audio language or reliably change subs. Or, technically I can, it just doesn’t select the language I actually choose, it chooses some random one. This only happens on appletv app, it works as intended on all other devices, both android, iOS, browsers and MS/Linux clients.

Ok, now fix the shitty client on appletv…

I think the ROI for my server is something like 6-7 years, not counting the electricity it uses. I don’t do it to save money but to gain independence, which is good because realistically it will never break even.
